‘Bigfoot’ Follows NJ Researcher In Wildlife Area: See Video
"Every hair on my body was standing straight up," said a man dedicated to tracking Bigfoot in New Jersey's wilds in a recent encounter.
NEW JERSEY — A paranormal investigator in New Jersey captured photos of what he says is a supernatural creature stalking him on his way out of a South Jersey wildlife area.
No, it wasn’t the Jersey Devil — he says it was Bigfoot.
YouTube user “Man of Light” has been tracking creatures such as Sasquatch and a “Dogman” in some South Jersey wilderness areas. He posted a video recently showing a tall, dark figure following him along some railroad tracks.

Man of Light said his video camera was fully charged, but would not work, so he took some photos of the figure which he believed to be Bigfoot.
“Every hair on my body was standing straight up,” he says in the video, posted Feb. 22 from the Millville area.

And, he says, the Sasquatch wasn't the only entity out there with him. Someone (or something) else had its eyes on Man of Light from the trees, he said.
A week later, Man of Light used a GAUSS meter to measure magnetic strength in the area, trying to find where supernatural creatures may exit their “dimensions” and head into ours.
He has been posting videos of encounters around South Jersey for several years on YouTube, many from the Menantico Ponds area in Millville.
Local DJ Joe Kelly said he’s watched Man of Light’s videos and even tried to spot Bigfoot in the Menantico Ponds area several years ago, but did not encounter the mythical being.
The Bigfoot Research Organization hosts a “Bigfoot Hunt” in the Garden State every year, and this year has expeditions scheduled in both North and South Jersey.
The North Jersey expedition is scheduled from April 27-30, led by Larry Rippon. The South Jersey expedition is scheduled in the Pine Barrens region from June 8-11, and led by Eric Spinner.
The organization does not have Man of Light’s recent sighting listed yet in its recent sightings page.
